    Amy, get your thyroid checked - it sounds like you might be being affected by that. If doctors tell you your heart is okay, then it is. Anxiety can cause so many problems, heart irregularity, strange sensations - you name it. The more you worry and anx about this, the worse it can become. Try to concentrate on your breathing, taking the breath into your tummy and exhaling, raise your shoulders and drop them - this will help you to relax. But - ask your doctor for a thyroid blood test....
